Just got my motor back from the dealers, they have had it since Tuesday, they reckon they have stripped the front suspension down and then rebuilt it as per L/R instructions.

Guess what

Youve got it, its still knocking

No way - I'm off to Gaydon area next week - shall I call in on you on the way to have a listen?

Did they change the bushes that I had changed?  BMW 535d

No they changed nothing, just stripped it then rebuilt it to the correct tourque settings.

It might be me i, am not sure now weather or not it is my imagination, the guy from L/R said all the RRSs are the same, mines no different.

It dont mean its right though.

If your passing next week drop in for a coffee and a have a listen to my knock.

Drop me a pm doc

The doc wrote:

Ok sorry for the delay.

The parts changed on my car were:

2x Anti roll bar stirrup bushes

Part number RVU50011 @ £6 each!

DOC IS THE MAN at long last having given the dealers the part number that DOC has posted on here RVU50011, and with the aid of a new antiroll bar

NO MORE KNOCKING



its as quiet as a mouse(for now that is)

Great news - I'm really happy for you - this seems to be on a roll!

If you knock - try the Doc  BMW 535d

i have a range rover sport 2006, with every extra you can think of, the machine cost me almost 60K. i took it in to the dealer, about the knocking sound i was getting from the front suspenion, they looked into it, and said they couldnt locate the probelm, and it may not be under warranty, as i a 22" alloys on it, and LR dont recomend that size for this car.
at that point i told him i have 2 of these vehicles, one is my wifes, with the std 19" alloys, and i have the same problem with that as well.
both vehicles went into LR in leeds, and were returned with the same problems.
this is disgusting from LR that they think they can get away with this, when i test drove this vehicle it was quiter than a mounse, now, every time i go over a amll bump, it feels like im in a fridge freezer with wheels.
if any one finds out what the problem is, please let me know asap, as my next step is to take this legal, if land lover do not get there head out of ther ASS.

Hi

I'm back for one more post

This issue has now been identified on customers vehicles via the EPQR system and customers vehicles have been inspected by LR engineering.

The result is that LR do now acknowledge that some vehicles can exhibit excessive ARC noise and have produced a fix which has been tried on several vehicles and proven to fix the issue in every case so far.

You will need to visit your local dealer whom by now should have "DVD 105 patch file 3" installed on their diagnostic systems, the new software contains a full update to the DSC system and now incorporates the addition of the vehicles steering angle sensor to the ARC system control sub system.

in rare cases the working of the system prior to this update may mean that the arc system bushes as mentioned here "RVU50011" may have some additional wear and replacement of these will remove any remaining excess system noise.

All customers whom have had this update and in some cases the bushes have since reported total happiness with noise levels.

It is also worth noting that those of you that have had the bushes already should seek this update immediately as it is likely the issue will return as your replacement bushes bed in.


Regards

VOR

Thanks VOR for that valued information, dont make it your last post as they are most welcome

Cheers VOR! Mine goes in for service and, hopefully, the same works as described to cure "knock."  Never Knowingly Offensive.., so P155 OFF!!!
_________________________________________

I would only add that LR have yet to produce any bulletins or info to dealers on this issue so don't expect your dealer to know this automatically, so far only dealers that have been actively involved with problem vehicles are likely to be aware, although LR technical should now be able to advise any dealers unsure of this update.

PS ENVOY thanks for the vote of confidence my future posts depend largely on if I feel I'm falling on deaf ears?
